Not the “midnight ride of Paul Revere,”
But a dream of the elephant, Jumbo fine,
Who measured standing say nine feet nine,—
His dream of the animals at the Zoo.
Of course you know them just as I do;
The lion, the tiger, the grizzly bear,

To hear of what the animals planned
In old Jumbo’s dream, a really grand
Scheme together down by the pond;
